Irony seems to fail the person who has alleged Chuck E. Cheese's ticket-dispensing games sow gambling addiction in little children, and filed a lawsuit in California seeking a $5 million jackpot.

Denise Keller, a mom of two girls ages 5 and 3, says in her potential class-action complaint that Chuck E. Cheese's arcade games are akin to slot machines. By offering tickets as a payout that can be redeemed for prizes, the machines "create the same highs and lows experienced by adults who gamble their paychecks or the mortgage payment."

Keller's lawyer, naturally, says it's not about the money but the kids. California law forbids gambling, except for in whatever cases it doesn't (like an Indian casino) but it makes an exception for payouts if the contest is a predominantly a game of skill. Whether skee-ball is more akin to poker or blackjack or neither will be a judge's call.

someone is out to make a quick buck on this.
 
I think the mom will not win, and end up wasting her money on this lawsuit. She sounds like a rather greedy woman since she does not need 5 million dollars to prove she is right...

I'm only 19, but i've done my share of gambling in casinos.
Believe me, it's not fun and games. I started with low wagers with money i didn't really need.
But as time goes on, gambling goes into your blood, you can't just stop it, next thing you know, you spend all of your allowance money on slots and roulette instead of hanging out getting wasted with buddies.
It's an addiction, not like nicotine addiction, but slower addiction which you don't necessarily feel coming.
Keep away from casinos.
